    Cooool so it's like a less corny way to say like "a man of culture" like the ideas the same (one of its use cases atleast). Didn't know 手 could be used like this too. Lovely as always

    I like the way that you don't just mention that "yes, hand can also mean person" because sometimes that doesn't really help. The examples in English made me understand that part instantly!

    3:53 I believe The Liar's Bar example is actually closer to the original usage of wakarite, due to this particular context.
    The Liar's Bar is a game where character avatars can only emote in very limited ways, and one particular Vtuber found out that this was a great way to directly communicate with their fans without the risk of the fans saying inappropriate things. This game has since become essentially a venue for informal fan meetings, where streamers can ask fans opinion about things or even have some comical banters with them. So, the fans are not there to show that they're good at the game per se, but to entertain the streamers and everyone watching by being savvy at this silent communication.

      Thanks for that detail - glad I put in other examples as the "good @ video games" use is quite clear in my mind, even if that's one one of them.

    The whiplash I felt from such an unsuspecting man teaching me Japanese using "fujoshi" in an example and simply glossing over it like its an average Tuesday. All really good and helpful examples! If わかり手 can practically be used in a similar manner to "based", all I have to say is わかり手ですよ!!!

      @scriptingjapan5279 For me it absolutely is, haha! I just don't hear it all that often outside of my inner circle even on the internet, so it does surprise me, but I am also not within Japan nor active in any Japanese communities (yet).

      Yes to the first, probably less for the latter.
